UT baseball: Longhorns lose another pitcher

Ricky Jacquez, a freshman righthander who started nine games this season, was dismissed from the team for violating an unspecified team rule, UT announced. That news came one day after fellow freshman pitcher Parker French was lost for the season due to an elbow injury.

Jacquez, who had a 5.79 ERA, was tied for third on the team in starts and sixth in innings pitched with 42. French was the Longhorns’ No. 2 starter before getting hurt.

The Longhorns also lost projected staff ace Sam Stafford to an injury before the season began. UT (27-18) now has just six pitchers who’ve thrown more than three innings this year.
